This is definitely in the “why didn’t I think of that?” category. It’s new to Chicago, but My Open Bar has already been successful in New York, Los Angeles and San Francisco.

Every week you’ll find “worthy” places that offer cheap and/or free drinks with the premise that cheap, hip and cool folks will visit the establishments for the ever-changing specials. Hey you got me with the “cheap”! The deals on booze are all over the city and from first look it looks like a great social tool that will keep you in the scene each and every night.

The best part, since you know about the site first, you’ll even beat the hip and cool to the best seats at the bar! Grab your spare change and get soused.
